Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Look, this is simple, so I’ll type slowly: The more open, legitimate, and free porn production is, the fewer women are trafficked. Why on earth would you take the risk of trafficking people to force them to do something plenty of people are willing to do voluntarily?

How did the DMK alliance manage to keep the BJP out of Tamil Nadu politics all these years? Is the picture now changing in Tamil Nadu after the entry of Annamalai?

If you ask anti-porn crusaders why porn should be banned, you will usually get three answers: “My preacher says the invisible god I worship says it’s wrong,” “sex is icky yucky ick ick ick unless it happens between people I say it should happen between, in situations I say it should happen in,” and “lookit all the women who are hurt by porn, I totally care about saving women (but not respecting their autonomy, offering them paid maternity leave, or, you know, doing any of those other things that would materially improve women’s lives).”

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

The number of women willing to do porn voluntarily is staggeringly high. Like you wouldn’t even believe.

A kid threw a stone at my car. I confronted his mom (who was nearby). She said, "You can't prove it was my son." How should I have reacted?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Make a list of the countries where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.

What your preacher says isn’t worth a wet fart through used toilet paper. Your preacher might say it’s a sin to eat pork or have sex on Sunday or cut your hair in certain ways or whatever, but that doesn’t make it the law of the land.

How do you say "I don't speak Italian yet, but I hope to speak it well one day. It would be a pleasure to learn Italian with you. Would you like to teach me Italian?" in Italian?

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Finally, “oh wow I want to protect the wimmens all the poor poor wimmens” ah HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha no you heckin’ don’t.

And what you personally consider icky has even less bearing on what is or is not illegal. You think porn sex is icky? Fine, you do you, bruh.

Why is fitness important?

Normal people know that what your particular preachers say has no bearing on what is or is not legal.

Say by creating an environment where people do the thing voluntarily, et voila.

But don’t mistake your personal opinion for Moral Truth or the law of the land. If it were, I’d have eggplants (aubergine for you Brits) banned tomorrow.

How do individuals become targeted individuals? Is it solely due to experiencing stalking or harassment, or are there other factors involved?

…criminals.

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Criminals who won’t hesitate to traffic people, if it makes them money. The way you solve the problem is to remove the financial incentive to traffic people.

Are there legal obligations to report the known whereabouts of a missing person that doesn’t want to be found?

That’s not a coincidence.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

Make a list of the countries that most stringently ban porn, with the harshest penalties.
